Secretary of State Antony Blinken hailed the destruction of the Nord Stream pipelines as "a tremendous opportunity" in a press conference on Friday.
Transcript via the State Department: SECRETARY BLINKEN: I think first it's important to make clear that these pipelines – that is, Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 – were not pumping gas into Europe at this time. Nord Stream 2 never became operational, as is well known. Nord Stream 1 has been shut down for weeks because of Russia's weaponization of energy.Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm echoed Blinken's comments and hailed the pipelines destruction for helping accelerate "the EU's push to become energy independent through clean energy."
As Tucker Carlson noted last week, if the US bombed these pipelines it amounts to an historic act of "environmental terrorism." "The people lecturing you about your SUV may have blown up a natural gas pipeline and created one of the great catastrophes of our time in its effect on the environment," Carlson said. "If they did this, this will be one of the craziest, most destructive things any American administration has ever done." Joe Biden made a "promise" in February that if Russia invades Ukraine "then there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2." "We will bring an end to it... I promise you, we will be able to do that," Biden said.
Polish MEP Radoslaw Sikorski retweeted Biden's "promise" last week and openly "thanked" the US for the destruction of the Nord Stream pipelines in a Twitter post he has since deleted. Follow InformationLiberation on Twitter, Facebook, Gab, Minds and Telegram. |
